Popping a Norman J Warren movie into the DVD player is always something of a gamble: sometimes they're awful in almost every way imaginable (Inseminoid); sometimes they simply make no sense at all (Bloody New Year); occasionally they prove entertaining despite a total lack of logic and technical ineptitude (Terror).
Prey falls into the last category: it's got a completely bizarre and unpredictable plot and is far from what I would call a great piece of film-making, but there's something about it that I find irresistible (and I'm not just talking about the hot lesbian sex scene!).
I love it's completely off-kilter plot—a carnivorous, dog-nosed alien that assumes human guise and imposes himself on a pair of lesbians, one of whom is an insane control freak with a murderous past. I love it's shoddy make-up and gore. I love the crazy dyke with the jealous streak. I love the alien's bizarre party outfit (a black frock and a touch of lippy!!!). I love the silly surprise ending.
Of course, the hot lesbian sex scene doesn't hurt much either.
